[Catalyst] Apache, Catalyst and executing commands that need root permission

[Gavin Henry]

Dear All,

I know lots of you will have needed to do something similar, but what
would you advise on the best way to execute commands that need root access?

I only need to be able to create a home directory and run one other command.

Use sudo?

This is for http://sosa.sourceforge.net

Thanks,
Gavin.
